Subject: [PATCH v6 00/10] kbuild: yet another series of cleanups (modpost, LTO, MODULE_REL_CRCS, export.h)


This is the third batch of cleanups in this development cycle.



Changes in v6:
  - Fix false-positive warnings when CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS=y

Changes in v5:
  - Fix the build error when CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF=y (reported by Nathan)
  - Clean up arch/m68k/include/asm/export.h (Nick)
  - Keep gen_symversions (and will be removed by a later patch)
  - Add more comments in the script

Changes in v4:
  - Rename .vmlinux-symver.c to .vmlinux.export.c
    because I notice this approach is useful for further cleanups,
    not only for modversioning but also for overall EXPORT_SYMBOL.
  - New patch
  - New.
    Resent of my previous submission.

  - New patch
  - New patch

Masahiro Yamada (10):
  modpost: extract symbol versions from *.cmd files
  kbuild: link symbol CRCs at final link, removing
    CONFIG_MODULE_REL_CRCS
  kbuild: stop merging *.symversions
  genksyms: adjust the output format to modpost
  kbuild: do not create *.prelink.o for Clang LTO or IBT
  kbuild: check static EXPORT_SYMBOL* by script instead of modpost
  kbuild: make built-in.a rule robust against too long argument error
  kbuild: make *.mod rule robust against too long argument error
  kbuild: add cmd_and_savecmd macro
  kbuild: rebuild multi-object modules when objtool is updated
